We live in a consumer driven society as defined by those in control (i.e. Wall Street, CNBC and the government). Therefore why don't the wealthy, the corporations and Wall Street pay ALL of the taxes that are supposedly needed to run our government, run military and fight for our freedom? If average Americans had more in their pay check they would spend more.

Instead they (the rich capitalists such as Larry Kudlow, CNBC, and their ilk) are always attempting to lobby Congress to reduce taxes for the corporations and the rich, while claiming by default that average Americans should be paying more?

Corporations have the lawyers and they have the attorneys and they should have the intellect and intelligence to understand that when average Americans have more money and less taxes that they will buy more if they have more money.

Why has this concept been lost on fools such as Congress, Federal Reserve and Larry Kudlow who have never seen a tax cut for the rich that they don't prefer over lower taxes for the masses?
